OUR MISSION Minimize

The Bolivar Free Library's main mission is to serve and be responsive to the needs of the community.  To that end the Bolivar Free Library will strive to provide programs and services for all ages in the hope that they will encourage a lifelong enjoyment of reading.  The Library will administer a system to select, acquire, and preserve various media of contemporary interest, high demand, and permanent value for the personal, cultural, educational, and professional stimulation of an entire community.  The library will also administer a system to ensure that these collections represent a broad spectrum of subjects in a variety of formats, using traditional, contemporary, and emerging technologies. 

 
What's happening at the Library... Minimize

April 14-20th is The Week of the Young Child and National Library Week.  The Bolivar Library will be celebrating these events throughout the month of April. During the week of April 22 bring your child to the library to sign up for a library card, then check out a children's book and your child will receive a gift.  If your child has a library card come into the library, check out a book and receive a gift, too!!! Reading is one of the most important activities you can share with your child. Studies prove that reading together increases a child's success in school.  So make "I geek reading" your motto for the month and visit the library.

National Library week celebrates libraries in our communities.  Go to our Facebook page and tell us how the library serves you and our community. Tell us what you like about the library and we will post your name on our "I Geek the Library" wall and then enter your name in a drawing.  Check us out on Facebook.
